2018-10-20 (NLCS Game #7): Dodgers (Buehler) at Brewers (Chacín) 7:09 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1 -- 2018 Season Comes to a Close]

[Bulldogboy]

In a game like this you have to score that run. You just can't strike out there Jesus. Unforgivable. Time is running out.

[homer]

R.E.L.A.X. I'm anxious too, but let's stop proclaiming things to be over. We are in this.

 

Thank you.

82mph low on outside part of plate followed with 99MPH high heat. If it's that 82mph pitch it's falling in to the strikezone high. It's the same with Kneble when he can locate that breaking ball swing and misses a foot above the zone on FBs.

[HarveysWBs]

Lead off walk. No bueno

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Lead off walks. Pitching has been great, but so many lead off walks in this series.

[Brewcrewin07]

So if Josh gets thru the rest of this inning quickly, do you leave him in even though his spot is coming up next inning?? I think I would..

[PinaMadness]

There's a catcher I've been hoping to see get a little more PT who has a .667 OBP this series, but what do I know.

Exactly. What a waste.

[jason21nl]

Hader is tired

[Samurai Bucky]

Seems like trying to move the runner to third by swinging away hasn't worked out well... Hmmmm...

Sounds like this may be a moot point

[Fear The Chorizo]

maybe they are manufacturing a dodger fake rally to get Buehler out of there?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

This is Hader's last inning.

Man. This is a mystery up there with big foot and lock ness. I will never understand why you choose to play a bad player in place of a decent one.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

This inning has the feel of the Dodgers capitalizing after the Brewers missed a huge opportunity. A leadoff walk is not helpful. A double play would be. Or a strikeout.

[jason21nl]

95 is a lot more hittable than 97. This is a dicey inning

Probably has to do with how he handles the pitchers.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

One hell of a bunt by Bueller.

[jjgott]

What a ridiculously good bunt

[Fear The Chorizo]

Damnit, Roberts wasn't dumb enough to pull him

[lcbj68c]

I'm uneasy. Jeffress for the RH Hernandez?

Heck, in this day and age, it could be because of Piña’s swing path and pitching angles from the Dodgers starters. Who knows.

At least we can take comfort in the knowledge that the Brewers aren't stealing signs when they get a runner on second.

[homer]

Good play by Kratz too.

Smart money would probably be the double switch next PH used Pina for Kratz

Maybe we should start.
